The other leading character, Magiraera, will he taken by Jane Dalthorp. In the part of the romantic lead is Darrell Peters, and Marjorie Christianson will help him over the tender moments. Kohert Black will have the title part of the lion, but he will have no lines. Originally written as a satire on Christianity, this play has now become a satire upon dictators and abolition of men of free thought due to the present world conditions. It introduces a new type of drama to the University Theatre, that of the classical comedy. (ieorge Bernard Shaw, the author, is one of the greatest What the well-dressed man will wear this spring seems a rather insignificant question during a period of war. But as long as there are men to wear trousers not khaki ones there will be fashions and styles. So this is the Daily Nebraskan fashion edi tion. Through the advertising and the news columns, the Nebraskan has attempted to show what clothes will be shown for spring and also to report the effects of the war on style trends. On thing is sure: The war has exerted some influences already on men's fashions, and it is sure to cause more changes from now on. The military influence has been very much in evidence this winter with the rising popu larity among students, for example, of the short length fleece coat worn by members of the empire's defenders. Then, there have been so many civilians wearing shoes patterned after those worn by American army officers. The spring stock of local stores is at about normal, but how much of the summer clothes, already ordered that will be delivered is still in question. Most far reaching effect of the war on clothes is anticipated in the fall line which will feel the full blow of government priorities of materials. In the autumn will undoubtedly come "V-for-victory" suits with no vests, no pleats but more of that in accompanying ar ticles. Regardless of fashions, stylos, clothes, a whole nation is agreed on one point: The best dressed man in the country, on any campus, is the man wearing the uniform of the armed services.

Duly, Russel Finish Five Years of Subtillage Studyj By Dale Wolf. Experimentation is the main purpose of the ag college. One of the most important stud ies which has been carried on by the agronomy department is the work of F. L. Duly and J. C. Rus sel. They have how completed five years of study of a new method of tillage whereby land can be prepared for a crop and brought to harvest without destruction of the residues of the previous crop. This method is called "subtillage" or "subsurface tillage." A number of new implements and attachments have appeared on the market, in response to the demonstrations of the success of this method. The method continues to show marked effectiveness in the control of erosion and runoff. It is reasonable to expect that this method will eventually be used to control erosion and store moisture on thousands of farms in areas of low rainfall. Dairy Club Hears Weed.

By Sam Holmes Jr., Associate Editor Student Opinion Surveys of America AUSTIN', Texas, March 5 While a plur ality of college students believes that there is a possibility of the United Nations losing the war to the Axis, the latest Student Opinion Surveys of America poll shows that almost as many believe the Axis will "probably" be defeated, and nearly as many think the Allies definitely will win. "Which one of these statements comes closest lo expressing your attitude about the present war!" a nation-wide cross section of college students was asked in a poll taken co operatively by college editors from Maine to California. A panel of four answers was then presented to the interviewees. The statements, (See NATIONALITY, pag 4) At Nebraska ...

However, most of those ques tioned did not believe the United Nations were doing all possible to win the war. Most stu dents felt the internal situation in the United States was bad.
